Claim:
A post circulating on X (formerly Twitter) from an account named Iran Army (@I__military) claimed:
“Pakistan announces its readiness to support Iran: Pakistani warplanes are ready to assist Iran and destroy Israeli missiles and drones. Pakistani fighter jets have entered Iranian airspace to support Iran.”
Verdict: False
Facts:
There is no official statement from the Government of Pakistan or the Pakistan Armed Forces confirming any such military involvement in support of Iran. The claim that Pakistani fighter jets have entered Iranian airspace is categorically false and lacks any credible verification from official sources.
In reality, Pakistan has only issued a diplomatic condemnation of the reported Israeli strike on Iran, aligning with its long-standing position on regional peace and respect for international law. There has been no declaration of military assistance, deployment, or coordination with Iranian forces as falsely claimed in the viral post.
Official Position:
As of now, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has maintained a position of restraint and condemnation of aggression, urging all parties to de-escalate tensions in the region. No military orders or operational support to Iran have been publicly declared or confirmed.
Conclusion:
The viral claim is misleading and entirely fabricated. It appears to be part of disinformation or speculative content that can escalate tensions unnecessarily. Audiences are advised to rely on official channels for updates on Pakistan’s foreign and military policy.
